um... that was a whole lot of naked....

ok so for all you guys back home who laughed at me when i said i was going to lay off the women for a year... ok ok so your not allowed to say i told you so... but i lasted just shy of 3 months. My girlfriend is graduating this year from a Psych degree at okayama university. Japanese, smart, travels more then I do, sarcastic as shit, and a cutie. I'll stick up some pics when i get some. It may be a good thing that this one hooked me.. before i met her i was starting to get into a little trouble.

In other news.. I hit up the Naked man festival this past weekend. I forget the real name.. but the foriegners call it that because you and 7000 other guys put on nothing but a loin cloth and slippers and essentially beat the shit out of each other (mosh pit style) trying to get these two sticks that are thrown out at the crowd after they turn the lights out. they then have to get those sticks to the temple mount to win. The persons that do wim money and are "lucky men" for a year being promised good fortune, power, and women. What is my summation of experience.. well i'll state it like i did on a friends board...

"this sweet weekend... beer, rain, naked, not cool lon cloth wedgy, fight, punch, fight, touched the stick twice,more naked, complete naked while unknowingly being watched changing by 5 girls, more drinking,more more naked, dancing, dawn, drinking, followed by a hungover date which ended with me being lucky enough to have a hot girlfriend.

...major battle scars on my legs, arms, and left foot. i tried going to the gym tonight and i think ive almost killed myself being that i have gashes in many palces. . it was the sweetest weekend so far that i have been here.. but i almost didn't survive it. ..lol I also did a good deed. I protected this little guy who was getting crushed by locking my elbows and knocking any guy that tried to hurt him. I guess 1 person died this year and 3 ppl were in the hospital ... got to love silly guy rituals that no girl would ever want to do..lol"

so ya.. thats my update.

getting things moving

Things are looking up. For the most part i only drink 1 or 2 days a week, i'm going to the gym 3 days a week, Learning Japanese is going well though slow, i'm FINALLY starting to work on the next issue of my zine which i'm hoping to be sending to Canada by mid march, and work is goin decent. Still lost about the future and about all things relating to inner thought... but... everything else is gold.... and i'm participating in naked man festival this year. Its where thousands of guys wear sumo stil clothes and fight it out for 2 sticks. I'm going to die.. but should be fun.
